Panthera Pinball Sound is Fighting Back! 😡🔊 Can I Get This Thing Working? Mars God of War is ready!
Panthera pinball is supposed to make noise… but apparently somebody forgot to tell the sound system! 😂 I head over to the garage with one goal: get Panthera’s sound working once and for all so I can get this stubborn machine into functional condition and eventually get it ready for sale. Unfortunately, Panthera has other plans. After replacing bad diodes, repairing the volume control wiring, trying another sound board, and doing plenty of head scratching, the game is STILL refusing to cooperate. 🤦♂️ My bigger goal is to get both Panthera and Mars God of War working properly so I can get them ready to sell. Mars is behaving itself… Panthera, not so much. Will I finally hear some glorious Gottlieb sound effects? Or will Panthera continue to sit there in complete silence while I question every decision that led me to this machine? 😂 🔧 The battle continues!
Kineticist’s take
Panthera sound and prepping Mars God of War for sale with detailed diagnostics.
Synopsis
Mike Boon works on Panthera pinball (fixing sound issues with a faulty soundboard and power supply connections) and Mars God of War (which he confirms is mostly functional). He documents his diagnostic process, identifies bad diodes and a loose transformer connection on Panthera, and successfully brings Mars God of War to working condition for sale. He also catalogs his collection of playfield parts (Black Hole, Kings of Steel, Firepower, Xenon, Gold Wings) stored in his garage.
